wanted: cooking help
Posted on November 19, 2008
Cooking has never been my forte. When I was still living with my parents, even though my mom let me cook sometimes, I’ve always preferred eating rather than preparing the food. I’m one of those who’d sometimes lose appetite over food I’ve cooked or prepared so I’d often steer clear of cooking so that I could do some eating.
It was a different matter when Ramil and I got married. Since there were just the two of us, I couldn’t delegate the task of cooking to anybody else. I slowly transformed from a prito person to a four-dish person to an anything-goes person. Good thing I was never the type who needs appreciation for her cooking because my husband, a food person, never gives false praises over food.
Based on my self-assessment, I am now an average cook. Although I would love to be more experimental and to be more diverse in my cooking, lack of time prevents me from trying to do so. However, Christmas is almost here and since Ramil and I have agreed to go on house arrest for the most part of the Christmas break, my cooking skills and imagination will be challenged once again.
Major hurdle would be our Christmas eve dinner. I have no idea yet what to put on our menu! I wouldn’t want to prepare something that would make me want to take the best fat burner. Not to mention that I have two people, Ramil and Mateo, who can be very particular about taste.
Sometimes I wonder whether it’s worth it to go through the hassle of preparing just for the three of us. I’m sometimes tempted to just get something from somewhere. Anything that we’re sure would taste great. Nevertheless, it might actually be fun and enriching for me. I’m considering it a challenge. For now.
